Julie Strain, with credits on more than 90 movies and videotapes, has been called "Queen of the B Movies".

She is a genuine cult heroine. Her series of action/adventure and fantasy movies have earned her a fan base that many mainstream stars envy. Julie has been featured on television, in music videos and laser disc. She is a star attraction of calendars, posters and greeting cards. In the "Strain-mania" merchandise world, she can be found on coffee mugs, dolls, watches and countless trading cards. She retains a major appeal for art directors and editors of magazines who want the Strain face and form for covers and layouts in everything from Penthouse to Femme Fatales, from Vogue to Cosmopolitan, from Natural Body Building to American Rodder. Julie even co-teaches a fine art and photography class at U.C.L.A.

One of her first movies was Repossessed with Leslie Nielsen and Linda Blair. She says, "I had two scenes, was paid $100 and had a trailer with my name on the door. It was the Big Time!" She did extra work on Bugsy and The Doors, to name only a couple, as well as a body double for Geena Davis in Thelma and Louise. She laughs, "However, Geena started feeling comfortable with the love scenes with Brad Pitt, so I was paid but never used!"

Julie Strain grew up in Concord, California. At age 13, she was already six feet tall and an outstanding athlete, but finding adolescence difficult. "I was a wild kid," she admits. "Always in trouble of one sort or another."

Three years ago, a 96-page hard cover photo book of the best of Strain's work with world renown photographers, such as Helmut Newton, was published as It's Only Art If It's Well Hung!. Its follow-up, The Sex Symbol Dynasty, was a visit to the Va Va Voom, classic Hollywood glamour world with business partners such as Rhonda Shear and Dian Parkenson. Today, the just released Six Foot One and Worth The Climb illustrated autobiography is taking the indie book publishing world by storm and is probably best summarized by the quote for it given by the 50's pin-up legend, "It's Julie who keeps the flame of pin-up beauty alive today!"
